They Saved The Day

We were worried when we were told that we could only use the downstairs toilet for small business and do the big business at the upstairs toilet which is located in between 2 rooms occupied by others.

Imagine, in the middle of the night and when you have an urge to do the big business, you have to knock someone's door and ask permission to go in. That's would be weird!

We were told that an object had probably fallen into the bowl and blocked off the proper discharge.

We tried various means to clear the blockage: Pouring bucket of water from ceiling height hoping the rapid flow would dislodge the blockage. Then we got a length of rubber hose to push through hoping to push off the obstruction. All these methods failed.

Finally, it was decided to unscrew the bowl and remove it from the floor. It worked and the obstruction was located and removed. It finally works perfectly well again

That proved one thing. The architect and the engineer team did know their plumbing work well. They were the hero of the day and they saved the day. Hurray!

Paul seems to be doing all the dirty work... squatting on the floor with the bucket and all...

What exactly is Sam supposed to be doing?
